Sun and Moon in Scorpio

You are a self-reliant person of perpetual activity and energy, and you take pride in your
accomplishments. Your most conscious aim is to exert your will over others. This will to power
can become a fanatical quest if it is allowed to dominate your personality.

Your feelings are intense, passionate, and lasting. Sex and sensual experience are of great
importance in your life. You have a basic need to probe, investigate, penetrate. You are drawn to
secrets, to all that is buried and hidden from view. The key to a more harmonious self lies in
curbing your aggressive bent. Your constant striving to dominate and master others creates
enemies for yourself.

At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Virgo was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler
Mercury is located in the third house.

This indicates that throughout your life you will assume a reserved, quiet, analytical, critical,
and receptive attitude.

Although you are not an individual with a very strong ambition, you possess the ability to
persevere and exert ingenuity.

Some selfishness is noted. However, if you are able to counteract this trait with your natural
helpful and sympathetic attitude and address your positive qualities to resolve the problems of
others then you will accomplish your highest spiritual duties and your degree of consciousness
and perception will be expanded.

You are not afraid to work but you like to do things where you can use intellectual resources
rather than mechanical ones. There is some independence here but don't try to be forceful about
it because Virgo's natural habitat is one in which the person is led by some powerful authority
and where the important decisions are best made by others.

You are very attentive to detail and this makes you a good worker, especially so in those jobs
that require a great deal of precision and observation. You have a desire for purity and though
you don't mind relating to others there is something that you do dislike: continuous intrusion of
your privacy. Business and practicality should be very important in your life. Although we are
not advising you to turn against your natural traits, which make you slightly reserved, we would
suggest that when in love you let yourself relax and respond so as to be able to return some of
the affection you are receiving.

Life will find you in many situations in which you will function as advisor and counsellor; make
use of these opportunities to project the power of your creativeness.

Your life will be geared to the acquisition of practical knowledge; you love to learn, you are
studious, alert and active from an intellectual standpoint. Your eagerness to investigate and to
do research makes you an excellent candidate for scientific pursuits.

You're basically an intellectual person with a great penetrating power and an exacting need for
precise detail. Your weaknesses are tendencies to worry and be preoccupied to excess.

Saturn in the First House

Saturn is in the first house. Saturn's placement here gives you a conservative, sometimes gloomy
and self-denying outlook on life. Because every contact is of great importance, you tend to be
rather detached and even aloof so that you can be sure exactly where you stand. You can be
self-conscious and may feel awkward and prudish with others who appear to take things more
lightly. The depth with which you look at yourself is characteristic of the way you relate to
others.

You were taught very early in life to be self-reliant, and you were often given more
responsibility than usual for your age.

Your intellect is constant and usually unfettered by momentary feelings and whims. Logic plays an
important role in your thinking processes. Grandiose schemes and theories have little interest
for you.

Once you accept your own limitations and face up to your challenges and responsibilities with a
sense of purpose, you will be able to succeed in whatever field you decide on. Your health is
generally good, so long as you exercise sufficiently to relieve tension.

Saturn conjunct the Ascendant indicates that you are conservative and self-disciplined. You tend
to be shy about asserting yourself, so people may assume you are indifferent to them.

Your lack of self-confidence will eventually be replaced by self-assurance as you learn through
experience to understand yourself. You do not have the kind of aggressive drive that impresses
people on first meeting, but you show reliability, and they learn to depend on you.

You are efficient in mobilizing your resources and are sure to realize your goals, but you
underestimate your abilities.

Responsible to a fault, you will never let anyone down who depends on you. Learn to love yourself
more, so you can feel you deserve the good things in life that you work for so diligently. You
can be victimized by people who take advantage of your unwillingness to fight for your rights,
but you never forget such incidents.

Moon in the Third House

The Moon appears in the third house at the time of your birth. Your intellect is very sensitive
to external events always changing and adjusting to the situation.

Memory is strong and of a pictorial nature. The mind, however, is liable to become too subjective
and shallow with an overemphasis on superficial learning and with little practical use or lacking
in intellectual sensibility. On the favorable side, there exists a vast reservoir of creativity
which could be successfully applied to such pursuits as writing and poetry. Physically, the Moon
will give you an intensely active life full of changes, mobility and fluctuations.

The demands of this position are simple: exert yourself in acquiring better control of your
unstable and persistent imagination, increasing, thereby, powers of concentration and you will
find delightful improvements not only at a mental level, but also in the ability to communicate
with others more realistically.

Venus in the Third House

Venus was in the third house of your horoscope at the time of birth. You are keenly interested
in the creative arts, and your thoughts and words are surrounded by a halo of beauty, taste, and
proportion. Your mind actually feels the emotions connected with nature and the higher aspects of
things human. Venus here augurs pleasant and kind relations with members of your family; the
disposition of your intellect is congenial, youthful, and attractive.

The keys to a better integration of both your mental and emotional functions consist of deepening
your personal relationships and of turning the mind inward so that you may be able to know the
world better by means of true self-knowledge.

Sun in the Fourth House

The Sun appears in the fourth house at the time of your birth. This is an indication that
parental name, family affairs and other domestic matters are of the utmost importance in your
life.

Sun brings honor, pride, and fame to anything under its influence, and it is indicated that the
problem of these influences here is that proper success for you cannot materialize until you are
well past your mature years. There appears to exist a very strong attachment to one of your
parents.

You believe in being the "ruler" in your home, and the sense of privacy is extensively developed
in your nature.

As life passes you will experience illuminating insights connecting your individuality with
certain racial and family elements. Study them. You will then perhaps discover the nature of the
spiritual mission which destiny requires of you.

As you read your short report, or any other astrological report, keep in mind that the energies interpreted here are your birth potentials. However, you may or may not choose to actualize these energies in the manner described. Your age, sex, socio-economic situation, education, environment, level of development, and many other factors contribute to the ways in which you express your natal energies. Remember, the planets do not compel you to do or be anything. They influence you, but you still have the free will to determine your own life.
